Saleema Noon Sexual Health Workshops

Sex talk, No sweat. For parents and children.

During these open and informational sessions, children and parents alike will come to terms with sexual health, and understand how it fits into their world at this stage of their lives.

Children learn how their bodies change, and what those changes mean. Parents will discover how to easily overcome embarrassment when talking about sexual health, learn words and concepts that are easy to use, and leave well equipped to clearly answer the myriad of questions all children are sure to ask.
​
The workshops are light hearted, but deliver straight and current facts on how parents and children can work together to promote good decisions for a lifetime.
